5/28 finally official - Sam to UVA, Joey to MSU

[Uncle Rico]

This.

Wojo took considerable more heat than Joey did, even after the "Crybaby Joey" narrative came out. Hell, I had been what joyless willie would call a "Wojo slurper," and I place the lion's share of blame on Wojo. I'd guess the ratio of Blame Wojo's to Blame Joey's was at least 2-to-1. At least. With a few Blame Markus & Wojo's thrown in. Very few Blame Sam's, though.

The Wojo slurpers make me sick.  They should be angrier

[withoutbias]

you mean to tell me a fanbase feels differently about a player that transfers out of their program?  especially a freshman who was getting 30 minutes per game?

wild!

next thing you know scoopers will be claiming thunder fans feel differently about kd now than they did about him 5 years ago.  hard to fathom.

[tower912]

I am outraged that Wojo didn't do more to appease the Hausers! 

Happy?

[Uncle Rico]

I am outraged that Wojo didn't do more to appease the Hausers! 

Happy?

Thanks, Tower!  Now we're getting somewhere

[MU82]

I am outraged that Wojo didn't do more to appease the Hausers! 

Happy?

I am outraged about your outrage.

I mean, the whole effen thing is outrageous.

The last 5-6 months of Scoopdom has made me numb to this situation.  I would greatly appreciate the all knowing scoopers to recount specifically what could have been done differently one last time and then all of us agree to never speak of it again. 

That would also be known as "the best of both worlds". Meaning, those all knowing among us can put on display how brilliant they are by detailing the apparently obvious way this season should have been handled and then the rest of us don't have to live through the mind numbing drivel anymore.

So the burden of proof is on the people not getting millions of dollars to run a program? 

Let's put Joey aside. We had a player who in three years had more points than butler and wade—transferred up, not down.  And somehow 'scoopers' are supposed to specifically identify what the million dollar coach could have possibly done different. 

Seems misplaced.  Result is terrible — no excuse.  As you point out, Now it's just about what happens next.  Tired of hearing why abnormal situations are nothing to worry about.     

[We R Final Four]

Pretty telling, yes. As in wrong and kinda racist. Which "teammates"?

Why? You gonna go give them a piece of your mind?

Well, I keep reading people implying that it's obvious what Wojo should have done differently, so it was implied you don't need to be paid millions of dollars to know what was wrong.  I don't have the inclination to go back through hundreds of pages of Scoop to find where it was pointed out.  So, yes, I guess it is a bit of arrogant of me to ask for it to be repeated here.  Let's call it a friendly request to repeat it.

Wee kneed sum tutti frutti playas, hey?

I always liked that gum.

[Herman Cain]

I was polite because he was still here.  But he was throwing his hands in the air in November when he didn't get the ball when he thought he should.  I chalked it up to freshman immaturity.  I noticed late in the year when he would get a defensive board and bring it up himself, then passing to Sam rather than passing it to Markus in stride.  And I held my tongue thinking I was imagining it and letting my previous observations affect my interpretation of what I was seeing.   His turnovers trying to pass it anywhere but to Markus.   I attributed them all to being a freshman and assumed he would grow up.    But they all happened.   Now he can grow up for Izzo.

I agree with this analysis.

[Lennys Tap]

Yes, if he had stayed, most would have held their tongues and hoped he grew up.    He didn't stay.    Now the repressed gripes are coming out.   

So if Markus left what would you be "regressed griping" about?

[Lennys Tap]

Why? You gonna go give them a piece of your mind?

Nope. Just wanted to know if the guy who made this up actually had any facts. Thanks for clearing it up.

[bilsu]

People make themselves unhappy. You cannot make an unhappy person happy for long.

In hind sight Wojo should not of let Joey and Sam room together.

[GoldenEagle323]

to keep the topic on the hausers... sam was officially introduced to UVA via twitter

[BrewCity83]

In hind sight Wojo should not of let Joey and Sam room together.

I thought Sam and Markus were roommates.

[Cheeks]

Nope. Just wanted to know if the guy who made this up actually had any facts. Thanks for clearing it up.

Like you making up Hauser was pressured at Georgetown....or just a few days ago that you knew with absolute certainty Wes Matthews doesn't make the NBA without Buzz.....or the best yet, you are 100% certain fluffy is me? 

Thanks for clearing that up and whenever you want to practice what you preach, let us all know.

[tower912]

So if Markus left what would you be "regressed griping" about?

If Markus left, I would still be supporting those who stayed.

It's a fact Jack.

Wait...Wes doesn't make it to the nba without Buzz?  He was an undrafted free agent. What exactly did Buzz do for him?

[Dr. Blackheart]

Wait...Wes doesn't make it to the nba without Buzz?  He was an undrafted free agent. What exactly did Buzz do for him?

He made Dominic James a PG.

Why are you compelled to insert yourself (and the lies that you repeat time after freaking time) into conversations you're not included in? Obsession is a serious problem - perhaps Fluffy can help.

I'm not repeating any lie, just exposing your hypocrisy.  Fluffy and I.....that's fantastic.
